Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is backing Marcus Rashford to recapture his best form in 2024-25.
The England winger has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford this summer following a significant slump in form.
He scored just eight goals in all competitions, having netted 17 in the Premier League two seasons ago.
But the local lad has impressed the Dutchman during the pre-season tour of the United States.
Ten Hag said: “We’ve all seen on the tour he’s very lively.
“He’s in very good shape already and we expect a lot, as we expect from the whole team a lot this season.

“There are so many suggestions around Manchester United and around this team.
“So we know the truth and he’s working very well, very hard, very engaged.
“And he’s very ambitious and motivated to make it a very good season.”
Rashford signed a new contract last summer, keeping him at Old Trafford until 2028 on a wage north of £300,000 a week.
He has also been absent from social media after receiving a lot of criticism from fans.
On why he thinks Rashford’s form dropped off, Ten Hag added: “There are so many reasons, you can list them I think.
“There can be part individual reasons and definitely club, team and many reasons why a player is performing or not.”
